Bug 257494

Summary:	"Show documentation in external web browser" uses wrong URL for methods

Description terje7601 2016-01-09 16:04:41 UTC

For the line:
System.out.println();

When you do "Show Documentation" (Ctrl+Shift+Space) on println, and then click the browser icon ("Show documentation in external web browser"), NetBeans opens the browser with the wrong URL:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html#println()
instead of
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html#println--

Note that "Show Javadoc" (Alt+F1) does use the correct URL.

Can you please provide more info?
Build number, jdk version, configuration of actual java platform?

Thanks
